What happened to the teen dream?

Tales from a pseudo hipster

Like any true award show, disaster or no disaster the show remained right on schedule, skipping right past the Spears disaster area. Like any true failed comeback the next day the excuses started spreading like wildfire.

In attempt not to bore everyone with the gruesome details, I wont go over the excuses, just know they were bad…really bad.

Now remember, I am not judging those still on the Spears train, but I do have to ask, at what point are her fans planning on abandoning ship, because if I had to guess this isn't going to be a Mariah Carey comeback, but more of a drug induced Whitney Houston train wreck kind of comeback.

Rest assured though, there are still those Spears' super fans out there and if there ever was a time I would imagine they would choose to hide all their Spears CD's it would have been post her VMA performance…however, as usual, there was an exception.

Meet 19-year-old Chris Crocker, Britney Spears' super fan extraordinaire.

A nobody for the most part, but known to the internet as a video blogger, posting on a variety of meaningless topics from his own personal life. Yet, soon after the Spears escapade on the VMA's Crocker released a video blog titled "Leave Britney Alone."

Wow, this video wreck makes Spears antics look halfway normal.

With heavy eye makeup, a sheet draped behind him and clearly precision highlights, Crocker rants for two-plus minutes on why people need to leave Britney alone- emphasized with what seemed to be legitimate tears of sorrow for Spears. Then he wrapped the video blog up by calling out celebrity media and bloggers like Perez Hilton to take their problems with Spears up with him.

The greatest part about the entire blog is that he was serious.

I just really wished Crocker would have been wearing his vintage "Hit Me Baby One More Time" tee- that my friends would have solidified his spot in history as Britney Spears' biggest fan.

It's clear after over a year of ridiculous behavior from Spears, there doesn't seem to be a break coming. I would like to believe that just maybe she'll get her act together and turn her life around…but to our benefit, it looks as though she is just going to continue down this path of destruction.

The next in the Britney Spears saga…Spears herself getting removed from Mr. Chow's in a straight jacket and being hauled off to the crazy house for good. Leaving father-of-the-year, Kevin Federline, to raise their two sons. Good luck Britney.
